Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose flour (plain flour or maida)
- 1/2 cup sooji (semolina flour)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ajwain
- 4 tablespoons oil
- 3/4 cup lukewarm water (use as needed)
- Oil to fry
How to make Mathri
- Mix all the ingredients except the water.
- Add the water a little at a time, kneading into a firm dough.
- Cover the dough and set aside for 15 minutes or more. Now, divide the dough into about 40 equal parts.
- Take each part of the dough and make a flat ball shape. Roll them into 2-inch circles.
- Prick each mathri with a fork in 5 to 6 places, so the mathris do not puff when frying.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
- The frying pan should have at least 1 1/2 inches of oil. To check if the oil is ready, put a small piece of dough in the oil. The dough should make the oil sizzle and come up slowly.
- Fry a few mathris at a time. Make sure to place just enough materials to cover the frying oil.
- Fry the mathris until both sides are a light golden brown.
